PSK Collective, the women’s active brand started by World Rugby Hall of Famer Phaidra Knight, has filed a lawsuit against Kohl’s for approximately $8 million in unpaid merchandise.
According to the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Milwaukee on August 13, New York-based PSK is accusing Kohl’s of “ultimately refusing” to make payments on approximately 1,500 invoices related to about 600 purchase orders between April 2021 and September 2022.
PSK alleges Kohl’s cited internal logistical and record-keeping problems as reasons for the lengthy non-payment, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
Kohl’s has not responded to the lawsuit.
Knight, a former rugby union footballer who was a member of the U.S. national team from 1999 to 2017, launched PSK Collective in 2020 in partnership with The Powell Companies Real, an apparel brand-development firm. The brand began selling to Kohl’s in 2021.
The lawsuit’s case number is PSK Collective LLC v. Kohl’s Corporation (2:25-cv-01208).
